Matter-affected neutrino oscillations in ordinary and mirror stars and their implications for gamma-ray bursts
It has been proposed that the annihilation process νν → ee → γγ may be responsible for the generation of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The incipient neutrino–antineutrino pairs carry virtually all of the gravitational binding energy available from the central engine. However, gamma-ray bursters proposed to date are inevitably surrounded by an excess of baryons, leading to the “baryon-loading problem...
متن کاملSuperflares on Ordinary Solar-type Stars
Short duration flares are well known to occur on cool main-sequence stars as well as on many types of ‘exotic’ stars. Ordinary main-sequence stars are usually pictured as being static on time scales of millions or billions of years. Our sun has occasional flares involving up to ∼ 10 ergs which produce optical brightenings too small in amplitude to be detected in disk-integrated brightness. Howe...
متن کاملQuark matter in neutron stars
According to quantum chromodynamics, matter at ultra-high density and low temperature is a quark liquid, with a condensate of Cooper pairs of quarks near the Fermi surface (“color superconductivity”). This paper reviews the physics of color superconductivity, and discusses some of the proposed signatures by which we might detect quark matter in neutron stars.
متن کاملStrange Quark Matter and Compact Stars
Astrophysicists distinguish between three different kinds of compact stars. These are white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. The former contain matter in one of the densest forms found in the Universe which, together with the unprecedented progress in observational astronomy, makes such stars superb astrophysical laboratories for a broad range of most striking physical phenomena. These r...
متن کاملPhases of Dense Matter in Neutron Stars
After a brief history of neutron stars and supernovae recent developments are discussed. Based on modern nucleon-nucleon potentials more reliable equations of state for dense nuclear matter have been constructed. Furthermore, phase transitions such as pion, kaon and hyperon condensation, superfluidity and quark matter can occur in cores of neutron stars. Specifically, the nuclear to quark matte...
